A detail that seems minor Monday could snowball into something huge. It could mean the difference between success and failure. If someone else’s money is involved in this venture, take particular care. Managing your own losses is far easier than being responsible for someone else’s. Then again, Wednesday and Thursday you’re likely to get whatever you want.

Sagittarius (Nov. 23-Dec. 21)

You have worked hard enough lately. Put the engine in neutral and let yourself coast at the beginning of the week. Ambition is healthy but it’s also exhausting, and there are a lot of people who’d love a slice of your attention. Wednesday and Thursday you feel an almost spiritual connection to your friends.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 20)

Putting your feelings in writing is a great way to discover what your feelings are. You think with words these days, and the more articulate you are, the better. Wednesday and Thursday, someone is being downright clingy. Focusing on them might exhaust you, but it will solve their anxiety. Friday is not an easy day.

Aquarius (Jan. 21-Feb. 19)

A love affair lifts you off your feet Monday and transplants you to the moon. Tuesday is a great day too, but Wednesday and Thursday your responsibilities take priority. Try to get exercise while getting things done. Friday, you’ll be able to devote yourself to a burgeoning romance. This weekend, try something new.

Pisces (Feb. 20-March 20)

It’s understandable if you’re feeling overwhelmed at the outset of the week. If you don’t feel like doing much, don’t. Put on some music and busy yourself with tasks around the house. Doing dishes can be therapeutic. Vacuuming can be fun. Wednesday and Thursday, love is in the air.

Aries (March 21-April 20)

You come to a clearing at the beginning of the week, and you can see for miles. With heightened clarity about where you’re going comes heightened articulateness: The right words roll off your tongue without much effort. Wednesday and Thursday are no time for hesitating. If you pursue your goals with energy, you’ll be able to bring your wildest dreams to fruition.

Taurus (April 21-May 21)

Let the natural talents of the people around you guide your next move. A dinner party Wednesday or Thursday could double as a strategy meeting. Have it at your house, which has good energy these days. This weekend, a power struggle might arise between you and one of your closest allies.

Gemini (May 22-June 21)

Inspiration strikes you Monday — maybe in the form of a romantic muse. Flirtation figures strongly Tuesday as well. Wednesday and Thursday return you to practical, non-social matters. Friday you enter the social realm again, and you’re the life of the party, even though, somewhere in the back of your mind, you’re thinking seriously about your career.

Cancer (June 22-July 22)

The best solution Monday might be the one that seems the most far-fetched. You have a knack for innovation these days. Trust your instincts, even if your ideas raise eyebrows. Wednesday and Thursday are explosive days — the energy in the air is almost visible — and they present plenty of opportunities, both social and professional.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)

Your friends are a good influence on you Monday and Tuesday. They act as a springboard for your ideas, and they have some solid ideas of their own. Plus, they don’t mind when you launch into one of your crazy lectures about frogs or baking or the nature of love. Wednesday and Thursday find you grounded, modest and deeply content. Friday is a day of achievement.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 23)

Try to develop deep connections Monday and Tuesday. The week has the potential to be either great or a drag, and what happens early on will determine how things pan out. Relationships are important, as are details. You are a brilliant communicator when you put your mind to it. Wednesday and Thursday you get your energy from other people.

Libra (Sept. 24-Oct. 23)

You’re not in the mood for anything superficial Monday. What you need is an intellectual conversation. Find someone you like talking to and let yourselves go. Wednesday and Thursday, you’re more interested in getting things done than in dwelling on emotions, but that’s not to say you should ignore the peripheral beauty that surrounds you.
